Help 18 Titanes Athletes Race in Querétaro

Diana García Diana García

Why this campaign matters to you

On December 6, eighteen Titanes Sport Clinic athletes from Oaxaca, Mexico plan to race at a youth and open track meet in Querétaro.

They study, work, and still show up at the track several days a week. They run because it gives them discipline, community, and real chances to grow.

What they do not have is spare money for bus tickets, a safe place to sleep, and simple meals on race day.

Oax Sport has already donated 5,000 MXN (about $275 USD) so Titanes can make this trip. We are asking you to help match that amount so all 18 athletes can stand on the start line.

This article focuses on three questions donors often ask:

  • What exactly am I helping to pay for in Querétaro?
  • Who are these athletes and why this meet?
  • How does my gift move from Oax Sport to Titanes in a transparent way?

If you already know you want to help, you can give now through our Donate page or use the links in the “How to give today” section below.

Who Titanes are and why they are going

Who is Titanes Sport Clinic?

Titanes Sport Clinic is an independent training club in Oaxaca, Mexico that focuses on science-based coaching and planning.

The club works with youth and university athletes who want to improve their times and race beyond their local track.

Training includes regular testing, clear training blocks, and support for state and national-level competition.

Why this meet in Querétaro?

The December 6 event is a youth and open track festival at the Querétaro 2000 track.

For Titanes athletes, this meet:

  • Tests how their 2025 training blocks are working.
  • Prepares them for the 2026 season and national or university events.
  • Gives them race experience outside Oaxaca, Mexico, which is essential for long-term development.

Travel from Oaxaca, Mexico to Querétaro means intercity buses, local transport, at least one night of lodging, and simple, stable meals.

For many families, those costs are hard to absorb on short notice. This campaign is meant to close that gap.

What your gift pays for in Querétaro

As a donor, you deserve a clear answer to this question: What does my money actually pay for?

For this Querétaro meet and similar national trips, funds focus on four basic needs: travel, lodging, meals, and race access.

Core costs for one athlete

Here is what different amounts in USD can cover for one athlete:

  • $20 covers transport from community to Oaxaca City for one race.
  • $30 covers one night of lodging near the venue.
  • $15 covers a full day of simple race-day meals.
  • $60 covers race registration and basic meet admin fees for one athlete.
  • $200 sends one athlete to a national championship-style weekend with travel, lodging, and food.

How this applies to Titanes in Querétaro

For the Titanes trip to Querétaro, we apply the same logic. Travel from Oaxaca, Mexico, shared lodging close to the track, simple meals, and race fees are all planned around these real, working numbers.

Your gift, large or small, is linked to a concrete part of an athlete’s weekend. A single donation can feed an athlete on race day, cover a night of lodging, or help send one runner from Oaxaca, Mexico all the way to the start line in Querétaro.

How Oax Sport and Titanes work together

Oax Sport does not run Titanes Sport Clinic. Titanes is an independent training club in Oaxaca, Mexico.

We work as a funding and logistics partner for athletes who train with Titanes and are ready for state, national, and university meets.

A partnership with a track record

This is not the first time Oax Sport and Titanes have worked together.

  • At the event in El Espinal in 2025, Oax Sport supported athletes who train with Titanes and helped cover travel and race logistics.
    You can read more here: Festival de Atletismo El Espinal 2025.
  • At a national festival in Xalapa in 2025, Oax Sport backed youth and senior athletes and thanked Titanes and coach Uber Clain for technical support.
    See the full race report: Xalapa 2025 Race Report.

In each case, donors helped cover race access and logistics. Titanes provided science-based training and race plans.

The Titanes Querétaro campaign follows the same model. Oax Sport focuses on funding, transparency, and reporting. Titanes focuses on coaching and athlete readiness.
